This was one of the topics that I struggled with earlier on, but I get it now thanks to this channel :)

@icecold1805 6 лет назад

So it goes like this: Revenue - Expense = Income summary. Income summary - Dividends paid = Retained earnings Revenue (Expense) ------------- *Income Sumary* (Dividends paid) -------------------------- *Retained Earnings*

You can pretty much get Certified as a Bookkeeper on your own with these videos and a good accounting book at hand!.

@icecold1805 6 лет назад

Well I dont think you can pass a CPA exam with this but... I think if you seriously learn all that he teaches here, and hit some books on the side, you can definetly get a Junior job in an accounting firm or any company that needs an accountant. Technology and changes in GAAP and the IFRS have made learning accounting, at least in the US and countries that follow the International Financial Reporting Standards extremelly straightfoward, altrough I don't want you to underestimate how much there is to learn about it, if you wanna become an expert in the subject.

@danielsodden7728 7 лет назад

when you say dividends you mean paying dividends? or receiving

@Edspira 7 лет назад

Paying dividends. Sorry, I should have been more clear! If your company pays out dividends, then the dividends account will need to be closed out at the end of the period. The "Dividends" account increases with a debit, which means to zero it out you will credit Dividends and debit Retained Earnings (because paying dividends out reducing a firm's retained earnings). Hope this helps! Best wishes :)

@dilshoddubai7197 6 лет назад

@@Edspira Can't we record a dividends payable (liability) account when dividends are declared? Dr RE Cr DP? You consider it as expense when you recorded in the income statement?

@hassandiab9626 5 лет назад

Thank you for your awesome explanation. Based on this topic what if the firm makes a net loss then What is the journal entry??

@Edspira 5 лет назад

If there was a net loss, your T-account for Income Summary would have a debit balance. In order to zero-out the T-account, you would debit Retained Earnings and credit Income Summary.
